Wet Clutch springs

[Transam355]

Anyone know where I can buy some springs to engage about 300 to 500 rpms later.I want just the wet clutch springs not a whole kit.Thanks

epi?

[Mad Mike]

epi is the only 1 I know of and they are very proud of them. somewhere around 50.00 for 4 springs.

I may be wrong but from what I've heard the only wet springs that EPI will sell separate from their clutch kits are the comp stall springs which raise the stall much more than 300-500 rpms.

I would give them a call to clarify, or get in touch with TEAM industries, they make clutch kits, not sure if they will sell the springs separate or not.

i think yamamod.com has something along those lines called monster torque. they also have a grunt kit.

Yea the only ones EPI sells seperatly are the compation ones which raise it 1000 RPM. The ones that come in there mudder kit raise it like 500 RPM. Thats what i have. I also ordered the compation ones but never installed them.

I have the clutch weight chsnge out but never did the wet springs. If I do mostly treeline riding, 10% mud....what will the wet spring upgrade do for me? or should I not bother?

thx

x2 on what muck said, what will wet spring do for you as well as green secondary spring? what do all these do and is it worth doing if already done shim and weight changes? any advise or comments welcomed.

Keeter I'm running weights and shim in the front also. The stiffer secondary springs apply more pressure and 1. give more clamping force on the belt, and 2. Delay the upshift, keeping the Grizz in low a little longer to get it moving. The wet springs add @500 RPMs of stall. I have heard that the Rhino wet springs are the +500 RPM and are available seperately. Haven't checked into it though.

Check this link, if you read all three sections it describes the function of all parts of a CVT clutch system, and how they influence eachother.

Basically stiffer wet springs means that the bike will rev to a higher RPM before the tires start moving, giving you more of a launch at initial acceleration (more low end power). Meaning it will be easier to get your tires moving in thicker mud and making it easier to wheelie as well.

Yea the wet springs raise the engagement. (like stall converter in an auto trans) The secondary spring offers more belt pinch and holds in lower longer. Worth it if running big mud tires. Little hard if do slow technical riding.

Hi guys well I call EPI and they told me only the competition wet springs could be bought separate I even asked if they could send me the springs I want for the same price as the comp springs and they said no must the a whole kit (jee thanks for nothing EPI).So I talked with my yamaha dealer and as of now u must buy the wet shoes and springs as a unit.They are going to see if the rhino is a stiffer spring rate and of so try and get them separate.For small little springs they sure are a P.I.T.A to get (LOL).

[tgriffin09]

What I had heard was you could get Rhino wet springs seperately from EPI that were the same as the Grizz 500 RPM springs. I'm wondering if they can't be found someplace else as I have my doubts as to whether or not EPI manufactures them. I have no idea what there rate would be...

I have also been searching for the same springs, but have not had any luck finding them. Transam if you find them please post.
